Doc Ford’s Sanibel Rum Bar & Grille is proud to be a major sponsor at the Rosette Spoonbill $5000 level of the upcoming “Ding” Darling Days at J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island. 2011 marks the fourth consecutive year that Doc Ford’s has been a top-level sponsor.

Planned for the week of Oct. 16 – 22, 2011, “Ding” Darling Days is held in conjunction with National Wildlife Refuge Week and celebrates the birthday of the refuge’s namesake, father of the Duck Stamp program and Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist, J.N. “Ding” Darling.

Thanks to such generous sponsorship, throughout the week festival-goers can enjoy free and discounted activities such as biking and birding tours, kayaking and sea life boat excursions, nature photography, nature talks and animal demonstrations.
